After much time spent treating clients with Sports Therapy Massage in a clinical way:

• Posture Assessment
• Joint Mobility
• Remedial Massage
• Stretch Program

I realised there was something "missing" from the treatments. On the whole it takes about 4-5 sessions to unveil the root cause of a chronic condition in the body. This means it has been a problem and a source of discomfort for a long time. When the problem does not disappear, it is time to try something different or refer to a specialist for diagnosis.

The element missing, in some cases, was the emotional and energetic side of a client. With the stresses and strains of every day life - from house moving, redundencies and unsettling relationships, it is no wonder the body becomes "unbalanced".

Hot and Cold Stone Massage is a "missing link" for those facing an upheaval or crisis at home or at work. To explain the history behind the stones in detail, please visit:

Seeing Hands Nepal is a UK Registered Charity, set up to provide training and employment opportunities in massage therapy for young blind people in Nepal.

I am fortunate enough to be going at the end of February this year as a volunteer to teach massage to four students who are three quarters of their way through their course. I have a feeling they will be the ones teaching me!

I was introduced to Seeing Hands through my School - the LSSM (The London School of Sports Massage). The Principal - Mel Cash has recently come back from Nepal and is shortly going to be updating me on the students progress. Apparently they are a little "lazy" by nature.....they did not make it to School for a week after Mel left (no doubt recovering).
